Best Of

They did explicit say it's not a nerf, well have to wait until gameplay but remember that he gains increased ability accuracy on combo so the rates are probably higher than this

Some of the numbers are better (was one 50% chance and now three 65% chances), but what was the likelihood they were going to say they nerfed anything? I'd like to see the explanation and demo of how his SP2 is better in practice. Right now, it's pretty good and the damage and power control are readily accessible. He's just too weak as a 6 star, even ascended.

The issue is the chance of it occurring didn't matter if he was awakened. So better for him being unawakened but worse overall.

Also making the power burn a steal instead is disgusting in a bad way. What the hell, Kabam?

I think the idea was to make the Even SP2 power control and the Odd damage, where Even now has power control and damage and Odd was pretty much worthless most of the time except for keeping power low if you did it accidentally. Unfortunately, they picked Power Dissolve (and it's a debuff (boo!) instead of a passive effect (meh) or a buff he puts on himself (🤘!) that benefits from his sig (🤘 🤘!) = worse) and it doesn't do anything (except give free willpower healing) unless they're losing power, so you have to have already done an Even SP2 or an SP3 before the odd SP2 to get to the damage.

Unless I'm missing something, it would seem to be worse in general. They've pumped up a weak aspect a bit and took away what was actually really good.

Cycling Even SP2s would keep the opponent unable to perform any specials while doing steady damage... and now I see why they made it worse. Kabam, you're not slick with your Kabampaign to keep power control and regen sucking throughout the game. That's annoying. I was really looking forward to a Dr Voodoo strong enough to take to rank 4. Now I'll have to see how annoying this new loop is before I put resources towards him.

I guess to be fair to them, they did label these as reworks and reworks are not necessarily buffs. Even though that's dumb

They didn't label them as reworks at all, they listed them as tune ups

Dr voodoo looks mid asf I wonder what kind of defenders he actually can take? Lol. Half of cosmic is poison immune so he lose main sources of damage, need to go for 2 sp2 one with even and one with odd just to get the damage going. I wonder what problem he solved in the game except DP.

I think they didn't want to make him a 7 star while he could basically keep most opponents at 0 power indefinitely after 1 SP2. As a 6 star, he's just too weak to really take advantage of it. When's the other champ that can do the same, OG Psylocke, getting her nerf, I mean buff?

I don't even care about the sp2 change (honestly think it's better and I'll explain why).
My biggest problem is his poor buff control. Nullify is arguably the worst form of buff control since 1) some champs including cosmics are outright immune to it. 2) you don't wanna trigger some buffs in first place (regen unstoppable).

Previously sp2 does great power control, but the current one I think has better damage. For example, throw sp1, nullify buffs, get lots of power, throw sp2 even combo, get 3 buffs, then throw odd combo, inflict the debuffs, then go for sp3 if required, all possible since now he can get lots and lots of power.

If only he has better buff control. Let's see how he ends up.
